Breast biopsies based on the results of mammography and ultrasound have been diagnosed as benign at a rate of approximately 40 to 60 percent. Negative biopsy results have negative impacts on many aspects such as unnecessary operations, fear, pain, and cost. Therefore, there is a need for a more reliable technique to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies in the diagnosis of breast cancer. So, computer-aided diagnostic methods are very important for doctors to make more accurate decisions and to avoid unnecessary biopsies. For this purpose, we apply deep learning using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to classify abnormalities as benign or malignant in mammogram images by using two different databases namely, mini-MIAS and BCDR. While mini-MIAS database has valuable information like location of the center of abnormality and radius of the circle that surrounds the abnormality, BCDR database does not have. When we use both dataset as they are, we observe accuracy, precision, recall, and f-score values between around 60% and 72%. In order to improve our results, we take the benefit of preprocessing methods containing cropping, augmentation, and balancing image data. In an effort to crop image data sourced from BCDR, we create a mask to find region of interest. After applying our preprocessing methods over the BCDR dataset, we observe that classification accuracy improves from 65% to around 85%. When we compare the classification accuracy, precision, recall and f-score obtained from the MIAS database with those obtained from the BCDR database we found that after applying preprocessing methods to BCDR dataset, the classification performance become very close to each other for the two datasets.

Ensemble of Convolutional Neural Networks for Classification of Breast Microcalcification from Mammograms SERT, Egemen; Ertekin Bolelli, Şeyda; Halıcı, Uğur (2017-07-15) Human level recall performance in detecting breast cancer considering microcalcifications from mammograms has a recall value between 74.5% and 92.3%. In this research, we approach to breast microcalcification classification problem using convolutional neural networks along with various preprocessing methods such as contrast scaling, dilation, cropping etc. and decision fusion using ensemble of networks. Various experiments on Digital Database for Screening Mammography dataset showed that preprocessing poses...
Implementation of a fast simulation tool for the analysis of contrast mechanisms in HMMDI and enhancement of the SNR in the experimental set-up İrgin, Ümit; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Top, Can Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-06) Clinical method for breast tumor detection is Mammography (X-rays), which have limitations and may yield inaccurate results. Alternative novel techniques are required to characterize the breast tissues and extract accurate information for identification of malignancies in the tissue. Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging (HMMDI), which enhances hybridizing microwave signals and ultrasound techniques, has been recently proposed for detection of tumors in the tissue. In HMMDI method, the data is a combina...
A NONINVASIVE FOCAL FIELD INTENSITY ESTIMATION METHOD USING FINITE-AMPLITUDE EFFECTS IN ULTRASOUND HYPERTHERMIA OZYAR, MS; KOYMEN, H (1991-12-11) A method for noninvasive in situ estimation of intensity in ultrasound hyperthermia is presented. The method employs the nonlinear theory of sound propagation in a focused ultrasound hyperthermia system in order to determine the focal field intensity, where the sound intensity levels are relatively high in the focal volume.
COMPUTER AIDED DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC TWO STAGES CLASSIFICATION OF BREAST MASS IN DIGITAL MAMMOGRAM IMAGES Alqudah, Ali Mohammad; Algharib, Huda M. S.; Algharib, Amal M. S.; Algharib, Hanan M. S. (2019-02-01) Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer type that is diagnosed in women. The exact causes of such cancer are still unknown. Early and precise detection of breast cancer using mammogram images or biopsy to provide the required medications can increase the healing percentage. There are much current research efforts to developed a computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system based on mammogram images for detecting and classification of breast masses. In this research, a CAD system is developed for automated segment...
An investigation of microRNAs mapping to breast cancer related genomic gain and loss regions Selcuklu, S. D.; Yakicier, M. C.; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (Elsevier BV, 2009-02-01) Various regions of amplification or loss are observed in breast tumors as a manifestation of genomic instability. To date, numerous oncogenes or tumor suppressors on some of these regions have been characterized. An increasing body of evidence suggests that such regions also harbor microRNA genes with crucial regulatory roles in cellular processes and disease mechanisms, including cancer. Here, we investigated 35 microRNAs localized to common genomic gain and/or loss regions in breast cancers. To examine am...
